T The pasar lama tangerang area constitutes a historic district that continues to function actively as a space of social, economic, and cultural life. the continuity of this area is not solely determined by the presence of historic buildings, but rather by ongoing social practices and the continuous production of spatial meaning. this study aims to examine the utilization of public space based on temporal patterns and activity cycles, the patterns of coexistence between chinese and indigenous communities in spatial use, and the influence of klenteng boen tek bio and masjid jami’ kalipasir on the morphological structure of the area.this research employs a qualitative approach through field observation, interviews, and spatial analysis, complemented by a phenomenological perspective to understand space as lived and experienced space. the analysis is conducted by correlating empirical findings with the theoretical frameworks of space and place, production of space, rhythmanalysis, and the concept of insideness and outsideness.the findings indicate that public space in pasar lama tangerang is formed through social coexistence occurring throughout the day, characterized by interrelated rhythms of economic, social, and cultural activities. the presence of klenteng boen tek bio and masjid jami’ kalipasir functions as spatial orientation nodes that influence the street network, building orientation, and the formation of public space without generating spatial segregation. the settlement pattern demonstrates a natural coexistence between chinese and indigenous communities through shared spatial practices. this study affirms that the spatial identity of the area is shaped by sustained social relations and spatial practices.
